Their balsamic vinegar is amazing. The service is just right. Not too much, not too little. When my wine glass needed to be refilled she was right there. Rose wine was perfect with meal. Love the wine glasses. Additionally, we are attending the wine festival so I didn't want to over do it. So much excellent wine to experience in the Piedmont region. We sat outside and the service was great. Excellent English and wonderful customer service. They took great care in offering us superb service. We will definitely return.

The tajarin (tagliatelle) with porcini mushroom has one of the greatest flavors and freshness of any pasta dish. The house wine (especially the Dolcetto) has a unique effervescence that dances on the tongue. The cheerful waitstaff have made both of our dinners here fun and special with excellent service. The chef is very sweet and has a clear passion for food, during truffle season she walked a precious white truffle around the tables to share the aromas of this beautiful delicacy. Definitely a must try restaurant for anyone staying or traveling through Neive.

I had the tasting menu of the day, and while my poor memory doesn't allow me to recount every detail, two of the highlights were the first course, which was Carne Cruda, and the next course that was a kind of tiny vegetable pie with mint. While the Tajarin pasta with ragu and the beef with potatoes were both nice, they didn't stand out as much. However, the dessert, home grown peach with ice cream and a chocolate leaf, was nothing short of fantastic. The wine list consisted mostly of very local wines, and the 2015 "Karmico" Barbaresco from Mustela on the other side of the hill was very nice at an affordable price. Coffee is never bad around here but theirs was better than most, and the grappa was top notch. Overall a very nice experience at an affordable price, along with a nice chat with the likeable and English-speaking owner (whose wife did the stellar kitchen work).

Highly recommended.
